    I'd recommend elinks over either w3m or lynx for this purpose.  It
is already in main, is well supported, and is the most frequently
recommended text-mode browser on the ubuntu-accessibility mailing
list, so likely to stay well supported for the medium term.

    That said, the parallel argument could be made that one ought read
documentation locally on one's workstation, while remotely attached to
the server  (which, yes, fails against the heterogenous environment
complaint).
